Hi all,

I am looking to the group for suggestions/recommendations as I am in the market for a decent DSO. I currently have a TLS216, in fine condition, without probes (therefore not useful at all). Is this unit worth holding onto and gathering up probes for this unit or would it make more sense to move on to another unit with conventional BNC connectors, for ease?

Thank you,

CJ

This seems to be (to me) mostly a logic analyzer with some analog capabilities.? However, this is the first time I've heard of one.

If you want a conventional scope, then I'd suggest you go for one, either digital or analog as you prefer.

If you want a logic analyzer (and *need* one), then I might suggest getting one separately.? I have an HP16702B that I like a lot.? However, TEK logic analyzers tend to drive me up a tree, and HP doesn't.? On the other hand, I'm not too fond of early HP scopes, so that I find irritating.

This seems to be mixed bag.?? I have an HP dso, and it's treatment of the digital line of things seems to be lacking... I"ve not liked it, but that's perhaps personal.


Bottom line is that I'd see if I like the presentation and it makes sense, the I'd go look for the probes.? However, I'd also consider a separate scope and logic analyzer, if they fit.

Nope, the TLS216 is a true 16 channel MSO. That makes it unique.

Main drawbacks:

1. Complete unavailability of the special probes (if you find a set,
you should immediately buy a lottery ticket)
2. 2K point record length
3. lack of service info

4. Only has DC coupling & sensitivity 50 mV to 10 V/div.

Cool to have 16 channels, but doesn't seem like a very general purpose
instrument.
